ECO 387 - Research Seminar in Public Choice Economics Instructor
Martin
Public Choice Economics is the application of economic methods to problems usually within the sphere of political science. This research seminar is as much a vehicle for developing a student’s research skills as it is a valuable field of inquiry. The students will actively engage with their peers in learning about Public Choice Economics, in developing a viable research proposal, and in conducting their own empirical research projects. It is appropriate for either advanced economics-focused students with an interest political science or advanced political science-focused students with an interest in economics.
Prerequisites:
Economics focus: Economics 105 (Statistics), either Economics 202 (Intermediate Microeconomics) or Economics 203 (Intermediate Macroeconomics), and a Political Science course above 201.
